Senator Stanford Interviews the President
| WASHINGTON, February 9th Senator
| Stanford returned to Washington from
| New York last night, and called upon the
President this morning. He told Cleveland
| that he desired to be heard in relation to
|
Interstate Commerce Commission, before
action had been decided upon. Cleveland
told Stanford that he would be given an
opportunity to express his views upon this
| subject before the nominations were made.
| In his interview with Stanford the Presi-
dent gave no indication of his purpose to
appoint any member of the Commits
| sion from the Pacific coast. His idea
is to select men who will administer
| the law according to the intention of Con-
gress with special reference to localities
from which the Commissioners are chosen.
The President desires to select men whose
names will be guarantee to the people OF
his intention to Enforce the law in the
spirit which it was enacted. Senator Stan
| ford will recommend the appointment of
| Commissioners whom he believes will do
| Justice to the interest of both corporations
and people, If the Pacific coast gets one
of the Commissioners, it is now quite GER
tain that the man will be Republican, as
three of the Commissioners to be appointed
under the law will be Eastern Democrats.
| Ofice-Seeking from the Coast.
! WASHINGTON, February 9th,-Jesse D.
! Carr arrived in this city yesterday. 1t is
reported here that Mr.. Carr has some am
bition in the office holding line himself
now and that he would be glad to take a
place on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, if one of the positions should be
allotted the Pacific coast. The conviction
is growing that if the coast is given one of
these places the plum will fall into Repub
lican hands. Political considerations make
it probable that the Democrats will capture
three members OF the Commission, at
least, from States east of the Mississippi
river and one Commissioner, if anything
| is given to the Pacific coast will, it is
argued, go to the Republicans.

| Favors the House Bill.
| WASHINGTON, February 9th. - Several
Democratic members of the House Com
mittee of Foreign Affairs had an interview
|
with the retaliatory fisheries legislation
now pending in Congress. The interview
was strictly confidential. While the Pres
ident did not commit himself to any legis-
lation upon the subject, the gentlemen
present gathered from his remarks that, as
| between the two bills, he favored the
| House bill, for the reason that it is more
explicit and mandatory i'll its character.
California Fruit Market.
| CHICAGO, February 9th.-A plentiful sup
ply of oranges in the market which is

for some time past is somewhat against
trade. although the demand is good. Fair

pervaded the dried fruit market, and full

three parties have control of the stock.
